A league with the promised 2 fights each would need alot more rounds and extends past the preferred time frame.

It does go a bit iffy doesn't it, I will post a clearer version when I get a chance, and I will tell everyone in advance of their next fight.

This diagram isnt split into rounds I will post a clearer one.

Ok here's the lower weight class fight tree, because there are 6 teams this ones a little funky but I think it works but let me know if you spot an error.
Light Weight Fight Tree

Edit:
Tree replaced with Light Weight Tree V2

Thanks for the correction.

You had DoubleD listed as a brute, is he a tank or brute?

Ok people the heavyweight draw is finalised and the matches will be announced TONIGHT at 8pm in Pocket D on union (and posted here shortly after).
So why not come along, meet your fellow contestants and maybe have a practice fight?.

Ok people the contest tree is finished.
Heavy Weight Winner Side
Heavy Weight Loser Side(Starts after round 1 of the winner side is finished).

The team number assignments will be announced shortly once I have got them from GR who is randomly assigning them.

Light Weight tree coming later.

Any questions or mistakes on the tree let me know by PM for now.
Question 1: wots gonna happen with team 15? looks like they auto go through to round 2?
Answer : Yes Due to the odd number of teams Team 15 have bye to round 2.

I'm afraid I cant check that stat since people arent using the same toons and I don't have S4 Globals (were they around then?) but it seems its a fair number, including a few champions.

Mornin all, it was requested that I do some funky number juggling for X4 similar to my previous S4 coverage so here it is, X4 by numbers, first up the heavyweights.
81% of players are playing heroes the remaining 19% villains

AT Choice
The most common Hero AT's are Scrappers Blasters and Controllers with 13 players each and least common Defender with just 10
The most common villains are Corrupter's with 5 players and least common Dominators Brutes and Stalker with just 2 of each. So it seems only the hero dualers are in vogue with villains preferred only for support. Some AT Ratio's
Blasters 13:2 Stalkers
Controllers 13:2 Dominators
Scrappers 13:2 Brutes
Tankers 4:1 Masterminds
Defenders 2:1 Corrupters

Team Makeup
The most common team being used by 5 teams is a pure hero Defender, Controller, Scrapper, Blaster, Tanker combo.
The least common being used by only one team is Controller, Stalker, Defender, Mastermind, Brute.

As I said above there are 5 pure hero teams there are no pure villain teams and only 1 team where the villains outnumber the heroes/
Teams with 5 heroes : 5
Teams with 4 heroes: 7
Teams with 3 heroes : 2
Teams with 2 heroes : 1
Teams with 1 hero : 0
Teams with 0 heroes :0

And random fact there are 3 of my former teams mates from S4 in the competition (good luck Knight Stalker, Alex_Hunt and Seriphimus)

Ill add some numbers for the Lightweight contest later.

So is this all matches are gonna be done on weekends? or are some now being done Weekday evenings?

[ QUOTE ]
But this is all difficult to plan until we know the number of teams entered, so if your holding off for a last minute dramatic entry please dont hehe

[/ QUOTE ]

whilst I understand this, on the other foot it hard to confirm entry till we know exactly how the matches are gonna be run and what days. Or would you rather we just enter then after youve done the work of working out days etc pull team out then?

[/ QUOTE ]

I refere you back to KS's post 2 pages back

If people are unable to attend the sunday night they may, with permission from your opposing team and the judges, fight on the wednesday evening prior to that.

Seems i wont be doing x4
Due to recent down falls in rl i have had to cancel my subs till i get everything sorted.
Hope you all have fun, and gl to all that enter.

damn you credit crunch, damn you!!!!

I should clear up thats its one round/stage per night not one fight, so there will be multiple fights per round. however with current planning its looking likely we will be able to get 2 or possibly 3 rounds per night but thats not confirmed yet.
To give an example time frame, with 10 teams this would be about 4 rounds, so with an average of 3 fights every 2 weeks thats the comp over in 3 weeks easyily. with 14 teams that moves to about 5 rounds again easily done in under a month.

But this is all difficult to plan until we know the number of teams entered, so if your holding off for a last minute dramatic entry please dont hehe.

Ill help you police the event, I've done it before for the original death race still have my tracksuit infact, just let me know when and where.

I would look closely at the clue from mission one of Darrin Wades arc that mentions a 6th more "heavenly" origin

Syn was the one hovering above the fights emptying full auto's into crowds, and nobody seemed to think to look up to find the source of this death from above.

Mornin all it was felt a quick update on what current plans are would be appreciated. (please note all plans are subject to approval, and as such change, by GR and crew at this point.)

In order to ease the planning and scheduling of fights a midweek fight night in addition to the weekend ones is being consider along with other possible solutions, more information to follow soon.

Also some question have been about the actual draw of the contest, so heres the current plan (once more subject to change and approval by GR)
Who the fights are between will be planned at the start of the competition, following the closure of registration a tree plotting the entire competition will be drawn up with a first round looking something like
fight A1: team 1 vs team 2
fight 2: 3 vs 4
and so on, later stages will have the appearance of
Fight B1: winner of fight A1 Vs winner of fight A2.

Then each team will be randomly assigned a number by GR and crew, something like
Team 1: Nimmers united
Team 2: Fusion Stalking Allstars
Team 3: Super Stealth Squad
Team 4: Deathstars.

The tree and the number assignment will be done by separate people to assure no possible collusion can take place.

Meaning round 1 would be

Fight 1: Nimmers United Vs Fusion Stalking Allstars (assume Fusion Stalking Allstars win)
Fight 2: Super Stealth Squad Vs Deathstars. (Assume deathstars win)

Round 2 would follow as
Fight 1: Fusion Stalking Allstars Vs Deathstars

With Nimmers united and Super Stealth Squad joining the other side of the tree in the second chance melee's which will work the same way (the competition is double elimination).

All of this is very similar to the original S4 event.

Again this post is just to keep those of you who have been asking “in the loop” and is subject to change and approval by GR and crew.

Indeed I like the idea of several fights.

It was one thing they did in S4 that i found really useful. specially when fighting the a unknown team.
which in them days was every team!

[/ QUOTE ]

Trying to guess what you were going up against was half the fun! We even made empath spy for us, and scouted the arenas to choose one which the other team weren't at so they wouldn't know what they were against til' we were in the match itself!

[/ QUOTE ]

You should have seen the files I had on other players and teams, even the french ones had a plan to beat them all, alas the first half of the final one of our players who'd been off playing another game forgot they had 3 power bars not 2 so we got spanked and pulled it back in the last half but not enough. Good times .

One of the reasons for the move to 21 is with the addition of dominator's and stalkers it was felt giving as much access to thaw (status res) and clear mind (status res, perception) like powers to buffers was important in addition to allowing brutes and scrappers their status clickies.

I think that while having judges on the spot in case of any set bonus showing up on info a screenie and petitioning on the board should be enough for the organisers to cancel the match.

Although i think an automatic forfeit could be just as good so that people wont even risk it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will be attending pretty much every match I'm made aware of so ill be watching for any rule infractions, but its a good idea if for any reason a Judge cant make a match (or an independent observer sent in their place) if an possible rule break has taken place if both teams present their case and evidence via PM to the appropriate judge.

Hmm the reaction seems pretty balanced 50/50

Looks like you have your answer KS

40, sorted.

As has been mentioned previously the point of this contest is to attract as many people to PvP and to reward them with fun and maybe more rather then have it as a rather hardcore only 2-3 horse race.
We hope people will consider this and not become to focused on one aspact of it.
